Citation: On Wednesday 02/16/2011 at approximately
0830, the following was observed in the large storage room in the
cutting room: Numerous items (buckets, cleaning supplies) are being
stored throughout the floor area, also the items stored on the
shelves on the storage rack are disorderly and comingled which is
hindering the ability to perform adequate inspection of this area to
assure insanitary conditions are not present. I notified [redacted]
of this observation. No product was involved and no regulatroy
control action was taken. This does not comply with regulation
416.2(b)(1); 416.3(b). This document serves as written notification
that your failure to comply with regulatory requirement(s) could
result in additional regulatory or administrative action.

Regulation:

416.2(b)(1) Construction. Establishment buildings,
including their structures, rooms, and compartments must be of sound
construction, be kept in good repair, and be of sufficient size to
allow for processing, handling, and storage of product in a manner
that does not result in product adulteration or the creation of
insanitary conditions.

416.3(b) Equipment and utensils must not be constructed, located, or
operated in a manner that prevents FSIS inspection program employees
from inspecting the equipment or utensils to determine whether they
are in sanitary condition.
